Young Marco

As the mind behind Safe Trip Records, he applies the same guid­ing prin­ci­ples. The label is her­ald­ed for its out­put, push­ing up-and-com­ing tal­ent and a string of high­ly suc­cess­ful, sought after com­pi­la­tions, from the 90s Ital­ian house series Wel­come To Par­adise to the lat­est col­lec­tions of ear­ly trance, Plan­et Love.

Marco’s discog­ra­phy includes two stu­dio albums – Biol­o­gy and Bahasa – not to men­tion a large array of EPs and com­pi­la­tion appear­ances that stand in tes­ta­ment to his uplift­ing, heart­felt sound. As a remix­er, Mar­co has col­lab­o­rat­ed with the likes of Robyn, Sebas­t­ian Tel­li­er, Marie David­son and Metron­o­my, to name but a few, reimag­in­ing their tracks with sig­na­ture flair. Along­side Ital­ian ambi­ent pio­neer Gigi Masin and Scot­tish musi­cian Jon­ny Nash, he is one-third of Gauss­ian Curve. With two now clas­sic albums Clouds and The Dis­tance out on Music from Mem­o­ry, the super­group were at the fore­front of the recent ambi­ent revival. In 2022, Mar­co broad­ened his ever-expand­ing reper­toire by pro­duc­ing his first fea­ture-length film score for Met Mes.

Syn­ony­mous with insti­tu­tions like Dek­man­tel and Rush Hour, Young Mar­co has toured the world exten­sive­ly over the past decade. Yet what­ev­er the con­text, at the core of his approach is a stead­fast phi­los­o­phy: to always defy expectations.
